Description

The name given to this book is very misleading, one might believe its the seminal equivalent to TAOCP for error correcting codes, however it clearly falls dismally short. The 2nd edition of this book still contains the errors and misprints from the first edition. The coverage and depth of the topics at hand are abysmal at best. Crucial topics are skimmed over, key facts and figures are never properly explained. An example of this is the chapter on reed-solomon codes, one could easily find better material on the subject simply by searching wikipedia. The accompanying code examples available on the site revolve around decades old c code snippets which give no insight into the subject material and are cause for more confusion and misdirection (as most of them don't function properly to begin with). A far better book would be either Todd Moon's "Error Correction Coding: Mathematical Methods and Algorithms" or the standard text by Lin and Costello.
